In 2016, Scandlines inaugurated two new hybrid ferries for the Rostock-Gedser route. In order to improve the power quality, Scandlines installed active filters on board M/V Berlin and M/V Copenhagen. Before commissioning, Scandlines’ new hybrid ferries had a power quality of THDV 15%. In order for the ferries to go into operation, the power quality had to be reduced to below 8 ...

The rapid increase in development activities on hybrid powertrains is creating unique challenges for the management of powertrain development facilities and the test equipment suppliers to these facilities. In this article, the integration of the powertrain engineering design phase, the control and electric power management activities and the test facility, and vehicle based powertrain ...

There are quite a range of hybrid Electric vehicles on the market today such as the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight,Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Toyota Highlander and Ford Escape. The Prius is manufactured at a volume of about 5000 per month, and Toyota recently announced that it is making a modest profit on these cars. The cost of HEVs is about $5000 more than comparable conventional vehicles, and ...

In this study, the solar radiation data of Balikesir in Turkey are analysed to assess the techno-economic viability and environmental performance of a hybrid Photovoltaic (PV)-diesel-battery system to meet the load requirements of a typical remote farm house. Several aspects of the system are studied through the Cost of Energy (CoE), the operational hours of diesel generator, unmet load, excess ...

The paper presents a novel FACTS–based modulated filter compensator scheme for a hybrid renewable photovoltaic–diesel–fuel cell common DC bus interface scheme. The proposed standalone photovoltaic–diesel–fuel system is fully interfaced using the common AC–DC collection bus topology. This allows for full decoupling of AC and DC type green source and ensures full flexibility in controlling the ...

This article presents reactive power compensation of isolated wind-diesel hybrid power system for realistic load disturbance using Matlab/Simulink. The mathematical model of the system based on Matlab/Simulink is developed. Reactive power control performance is compared using three different types of Static VAR Compensator (SVC) models. Transient responses for step plus normally distributed and ...

This paper presents reactive power control of isolated wind-diesel-micro-hydro hybrid power system for realistic load disturbance using matlab/simulink. The mathematical model of the system based on matlab/simulink is developed. Reactive power control performance is compared using three different types of Static VAR Compensators (SVC). Transient responses for step plus normally distributed or ...

In this paper, a frequency control method is introduced for photovoltaic-diesel hybrid system by using a load estimator and an energy storage system. The proposed method is compared with an energy storage based conventional control method and with a fuzzy based frequency control method. Simulation results show that the proposed method is feasible to reduce the frequency deviations of the isolated ...

Diesel fuel can cause adverse effects in marine invertebrates by mechanisms that are not clearly understood. The authors used suppressive subtractive hybridization to identify genes up‐ and downregulated in Crassostrea brasiliana exposed to diesel fuel. Genes putatively involved in protein regulation, innate immune, and stress response, were altered by diesel challenge. Three genes regulated by ...

This paper presents the development of an optimisation model for the design of an autonomous solar-wind hybrid system in combination with battery bank and diesel generator. The performance of solar and wind system is evaluated using new practical mathematical models, in combination with hourly measured meteorological data. Loss of power supply probability technique is used as a key system ...

Big Automakers Invest in Hybrid Bus Market The use of Hybrid Technology, in a hybrid bus or hybrid car, enables the more efficient use of the particular fuel that the vehicle uses. Diesel, petrol, or liquid gas powered (LPG), engines, combined with hybrid technology, can deliver better mileage, lower emissions and reduced maintenance costs. Therefore it is understandable why city bus ...

When you think of Fiji, you first think of vacation, wonderful beaches with palms and crystal clear water with perfect spots for scuba diving. We also thought of energy: Energy that could help build a more ecological electrical power supply. The existing power supply on the three separate islands of Kadavu, Lakeda and Rotuma around the Fijian mainland had been fully based on diesel generators. ...

The increasing diesel consumption, depletion of fossil fuels and environmental concerns have prompted usage of biodiesel. The selection of appropriate source and blending of biodiesel plays a role in alternate energy production. The aim of this study is to evaluate the optimum blend using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique. Five alternative fuel blends are prepared by varying the ...

In this study, the solar radiation and wind data pertaining to Bigadic region are analyzed to assess the performance of a hybrid Photovoltaic-Wind-Diesel-Battery energy system. The average energy consumption of the system is about 20.33 kWh per day and 600 kWh per month, with a peak power demand of 2.4 kW. A 10 kW Wind Turbine and a 1 kWp PV energy system with 48 kW battery are installed. The ...

This paper presents a real-time implementable optimisation-based energy management strategy for a series Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). On the basis of the introduction of a transient fuel consumption model of the diesel Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and a battery equivalent fuel consumption model incorporating a charge-sustaining strategy, a novel Semi-Global Optimisation (SGO) problem is ...

It’s Christmastime on Oxford Street. Brilliant displays of white lights rain from above. Decked-out shoppers dash from one gaudy sale to the next. And Johnny Conquest breathes in poison. “The air is horrible. The taxis stop right here, and when they take off, boom, you can taste it,” says the 67-year-old as the heavenly smell of the caramel peanuts he hawks from a humble street ...

Over the past several years, Avogadro Environmental has been working with a number of clients to develop proactive environmental programs as part of their EPA Performance Track and ISO 14001 management systems. Many client companies that are proactively implementing measures to reduce their environmental footprint are looking for ideas. Diesel engine retrofits for off-road stationary and mobile ...

The use of a genetic algorithm (GA) for optimal sizing of an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is reported. As a pre-feasibility analysis and to determine the appropriate HRES type to be studied, wind energy potential and solar irradiation are first examined for the considered region (Tehran, Iran). These are inputs of the algorithm, and are assessed throughout a year utilising ...
